THE FRENCH FRONTIER.
Trouble Over the Recent Shooting by
Germans Averted.

Germans Averted.
''Trouble is averted.h So say the dis
patches on French affairs, meaning that
the German government admits the wrong
done by its frontier guard in firing on the
French hunters and agrees to pay an in
demnity to the families of the killed and
wounded There was but one killed and
one wounded, but the circumstances were
SO peculiar that we present them somewhat
in detail, with map of the locality. A
glance at this map shows the place of
the shooting very clearly. The accepted
version now is that the seven Frenchmen
were quietly walking along the pathway
on their side Of the line and that they
were fired upon by the German advance
rifleman from his station in the fir forest
on the other side of the line. The proof
is complete.
Monsieur LIE Begue, q local officer of
the revenue, had invited some friends to
morning hunt and breakfast in the
woods. They were Messrs. Valentin, q
civilian of Luvigny; Arnous, retired
officer of the artillery; Wangen, an Al
satan gentleman, and Brignon, an oper-
ator of the foundries at a neighboring
town. With them were two CRACKERS"
or hunters assistants. AS they were
walking in single file, as shown in the
map, towards the lodge where they were
to breakfast, they had to cross an open
glade, bordered by dense and scrubby
fir forest on the German side. In this
glade they were suddenly alarmed by two
shots and the whistling of bullets. In

hurry to break the record in that particu-
lar. But once started he appears to be in
q fair way to see great deal, aided as he
is by an accomplished wife, who possesses
in q rare degree the faculty of making
friends. The people have received them
with great demonstrations of respect, and
this without distinction of party. All the
latest appliances for display have been
employed; blazing gas wells illuminated
arches and immense electric lights,
in addition to the old fashioned
military parades and booming of
cannon. The first formal demonstration
was at indianapolis, Oct 1, when 10000
people looked at (and a few heard the
president while he replied to Governor
Gray's address of welcome. At least as
large the citizens claim more crowd

All this was repeated ON larger scale at
Chicago, where 10000 people were at the
depot to welcome the president The
grand arch over Monroe street, of which
we present q picture, and the decoration
Of the Columbia theatre were scenes of
dazzling brilliancy. AT the theatre 10000
roses were used. Chicago aims to
be fast i'll everything, and her
papers record with something like
pride that at the reception the president
shook hands with "forty-seven persons
per minute" Similar scenes were
enacted at Milwaukee, st. Paul and Min
neapolis. In fact, the American people
like to see the man to whom they have
intrusted the chief magistracy for four
years. On the evening of October II the
president and party left Minneapolis for

ests. One of his pieces, ''God Save Ire
land, has become q national hymn like
'Hail Columbia" Is among us. He has
also published short and spicy work
entitled the Irish History of England,
and many other prose sketches; but the
fact that just now brings him prominently
before the public is his recent arrest and
trial on the charge of having published in
The Nation notices Of the 'proclaimed"-
that is, Misunderstanding of the land
league. He had lately been elected mayor
Of Dublin, and when arrested came into
court in his official robes, just as he had
left the mayors seat. The charge was
the usual one of melting opposition to the
law and publications tending to create re-
bellion,
The trial excited much interest, and Mr..
Sullivan was acquitted. The older
brother, A. NJ. Sullivan, was also arrested
while editing The Nation many years ago,
but was not so fortunate, as he was SEN
fenced to six months imprisonment.
Such are the dramatic episodes and pain
full incidents Of Irish politics. The older
brother has lost much of his popularity
by his life as barrister In the British
courts, but Of all the Irish leaders only
the devoted and deyotedly loved John Dill
lon has a warmer place in the hearts Of
the people than Sullivan the poet"

MISUNDERSTANDING 10. 1887
The President On the Tariff.

The President On the Tariff
We reproduce below an extract from
n speech which Mr.. CLEVELAND made
in Newark, n. j., just seven days be.
fore the presidential election of 1884.
The public having lost sight of this
celebrated speech. the Nashville Ame-
ricon has done the State some service
in hunting it up. Mr.. CLEVELAND
said:
1.-THE Democratic party has declared
that all taxation shall be limited by the
requirements of economical govern
ment. This is PLAN and direct, and it
distinctly recognizes the value of labor
and It's right to governmental care
when it further declares that the neccs-
sary rcducti0n in taxation and the
limitation thereof to the cOuntry's
needs should be effected without deprj-
,,ng American labor Of the dbility to
compete SUcccSJuIW with .forcign
labor. and without injuring the in
fcrcsfs of our iab0ring population.
At this time, when the suffrages of the
laboIing men are so industriOusly
sought, they should, by careful inquiry,
il seems to me, discover the party
pledged to the protection of their in
fcrcSts, end which recognizes in their
labor something most valuable to the
prosperity of the country and primo
rim CHificd TO its care and prOtcc-
GoH."
Does Mr.. CLEVELAND hold the doc
trines which he then said that he held !?
OF course he does. 1t is true it was
charged against him that he had made
the speech from which the above eX
tract was taken, not for the benefit of
the country, but to save the States of
New Jersey and New York to the
Democratic party. Mr.. RASDALa was
invited to New Jersey aad New
York about the same time to lend
the weight of his name to the
assurances of Mr.. CLEVELAND. Any
how the Democrats carried both
OF those States, aud Mr. CLEVELAND is
to-day President of the United States,
as it is scarcely possible he could have
been if he and Mr.. RANDALL and Mr..
McADoo and the rest of the Demo
cratic leaders in those States had not
been able to satisfy the workingmen
that Mr.. CLEVELAND considered him
self "pledged to the protection of their
interests" and to the doctrine that
those interests were primarily emit
TIED" to the care and protection Of the
Government.
